What if, next week, the policy is that you have to escort every 5th passenger to a back room, have him strip naked and grope him without his clothes? What if this includes children?

What if, next month, you have to give a prostrate exam to every male passenger, regardless of age, out of an abundance of caution?

What if, in 2 years time, passengers are no longer allowed to be conscious on their flight, so you're required to administer anaesthesia to every passenger, despite knowing that 0.1% of them will die of an allergic reaction to it?

Somewhere between "what you signed up for", and "the most horrible thing you can imagine if you take a little longer to think about it", there is a line you won't cross. Someday you may be asked to cross that line.
